Abstract: Graphite/polymer hybrid composites with tailored structure were prepared using a novel synthesis method based on stable free radical polymerization combined with polymerization compounding. Highly filled and well-dispersed filler/polymer composites have been developed using this method. Grafting polymers onto carbon fillers was carried out in bulk polymerization, in solution and in colloidal dispersion. This method allows control of the percentage of grafted polymers, the architecture of grafted polymers, the length of chains, and the polydispersity index. The organic fillers may be graphite, carbon black and the like in the form of flakes, fibers, colloidal suspensions, films or powders. The synthesis process performed by this method gave grafting percentages of polymers and copolymers ranging from 12 to 88 wt %. Graphite/Polymer composites produced herein represent new material used in bipolar plates for fuel cells and filter press electrolyzers and as composite material for automobiles and aircraft structures.

Title: Extensible mechanism for executing server side code
Inventor: DEBOER TIMOTHY G
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2003-03-26
Abstract: An extensible mechanism for executing code on one of one or more servers and in association with one of one or more client applications (i.e.  "clients"). In accordance with a model of the extensible mechanism, the execution of server side code is partitioned into three stages, a view stage for determining the code for running, a server stage for determining the server to execute the code and a launcher stage to determine the client for interacting with the server to run the code. Lists of processing elements at each stage extensibly configure the mechanism to work with different types of server side code to be run, different servers to run the code and different clients with which to interact with the server running the code. By modeling the execution of server side code in stages and using lists of processing elements, the mechanism is easily extended to new code types, servers and launchers. The extensible mechanism can be plugged into or otherwise adapt another application, for example, an integrated development environment.

Abstract: A method apparatus for orienting a map display in a mobile or portable device.  An electronic compass is integrated with a hand-held portable or mobile mapping device and an electronic compass bearing is used to calculate an offset value with respect to the map default orientation. The map is thus reoriented in the display to the direction of the device. In an alternative embodiment, a GPS receiver is also integrated with the device. A heading fix is calculated from two or more GPS position fixes to determine orientation of the device. When a heading fix is unavailable, such as at initial start-up of the device, a compass heading is used in lieu of the GPS heading fix to orient the map on a display.

IPC: G10L25/90
Filed: 2002-02-01
Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un dispositif et à un procédé de conversion d'une séquence de codes vocaux permettant de convertir une séquence de codes avec une faible complexité de calcul. Ledit procédé consiste à recevoir une première séquence de codes ayant une période fondamentale au niveau de la borne d'entrée sur le côté entrée, à convertir la première séquence de codes en une seconde séquence de codes ayant une période fondamentale, et à délivrer en sortie la seconde séquence de codes au niveau d'une borne de sortie sur le côté de sortie. En plus d'un circuit conçu pour synthétiser un signal décodé à partir d'une séquence de codes de la méthode CELP sur le côté d'entrée, le dispositif de conversion de la séquence de codes vocaux possède un circuit conçu pour délivrer directement le coefficient LP et la période fondamentale, décodés par un circuit de décodage du coefficient LP (12) et un circuit de décodage de la composante fondamentale (13), respectivement à un circuit de codage du coefficient LP (31) et un circuit de calcul de la composante fondamentale (40) sur le côté de sortie, aux fins de leur transmission en vue d'une conversion de séquence de codes du côté de sortie. Ainsi, il est possible de se passer de l'analyse LP du signal décodé par le côté de sortie et de la sélection d'un candidat pour la période fondamentale. Si une expansion de bande est requise par les côtés d'entrée et de sortie, des circuits de conversion avec expansion de bande et de création d'un candidat pour la période fondamentale sont utilisés et un circuit de codage remplace le circuit de calcul de la composante fondamentale. L'interpolation du coefficient LP et de la période fondamentale est effectuée si la longueur de la trame du côté d'entrée est supérieure à celle du côté de sortie, ou bien le calcul de la valeur moyenne du coefficient LP et de la période fondamentale est effectué si la longueur de trame du côté d'entrée est inférieure à celle du côté de sortie.
